    That'd be good if that's the case. The bullets I've seen shot out of other microgroove Marlin .45-70 rifles show the bullet is barely engaging the rifling.
    Looking for members in Grande Prairie Alberta interested in wilderness skills, survival skills, camping, prepping, shooting, etc.

    Shot mine a bit last weekend. Very fun little rifle.

    What is the finish is on the barrel, receiver, mag tube, etc?

    Before I bought it, I thought it was the same stainless as the SBL, but it's not even close. Seems like more of a hard chrome?

    Still stainless steel but a different finish on it. Polished vs satin
